By names aren't unique, I mean with respect to "encoding", everything is the same. It seems like you're using "encoding" to mean something it doesn't? Do you just mean like "value"?

This sounds like you don't know what it is.

Do you just mean like "value"? I think the GP means character encodings. So the intent here is to ask whether (for example) a foo defined in a ISO 8859-1 encoded file is overidden by a foo imported from a Windows-1256 encoded file.

Files are decoded and canonicalized as a unicode string. If the identifiers are the same after canonicalization, then yes they are equivalent. If they aren't, then they aren't.
- webmaven 5y agoAh, I misunderstood what you meant by "aren't unique". I would have phrased that as "names aren't treated differently", or something similar.
